ASH BENEATH THE SUN
In the world of Ash Beneath the Sun, the Solvanyan Empire has fused law, faith, and magic into a single, self‑reinforcing machine that now fractures from over‑perfection, while the Obsidian Choir silently guides populations toward inevitable conformity. Amidst this engineered order, diverse peoples—from the silent Sylori to the blood‑sustained Seraph—struggle to reclaim freedom, truth, and the very soul of their world from a system that worships structure above all else.

A world where magic is as common as gravity, but the convocation meant to unite eleven nations ended in a massacre that exposed old betrayals, hidden peoples, and a murder disguised as chaos.
